A mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying frequency dependence of photoelectric emission, since, it gives a number of spectral lines ranging from the UV to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with rubidium photo-cell, the following lines from a mercury source were used: lambda_1 = 3650 oversetcircA , lambda_2=4047 oversetcircA , lambda_3=4358 oversetcircA , lambda_4=5461 oversetcircA , lambda_5=6907 oversetcircA The stopping voltages respectively were measured to be V_0=1.28 V , V_0.95V , V_0=0.74V , V_0=0.16 , V_0=0V Determine the value of Planck's constant h.

The terminology of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum is given in the text. Use the formula E = hv (for energy of a quantum of radiation: photon) and obtain the photon energy in units of eV for different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. In what way are the different scales of photon energies that you obtain related to the sources of electromagnetic radiation?

To ensure almost 100 per cent transmitivity, photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refracive index of this material is intermediatead between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). A typically used dielectric film is M_gF_2 (n=1.38). What should the thickness of the film be so that at the centre of the visible spectrum (5500 oversetcircA) there is maximum transmission.
